The former fourth-overall pick has yet to take a regular-season snap in 2026 but is approaching the end of his rookie contract, creating an argument for giving him another opportunity to prove himself. Richardson's documented struggles with accuracy and decision-making are offset by his athleticism and ability to create explosive plays, which could provide a different dimension to an offense that has become increasingly stagnant. However, coach Shane Steichen has maintained confidence in Daniel Jones and indicated that a quarterback change is not currently under consideration.

The source argues for starting Anthony Richardson over Daniel Jones, citing AR's arm talent to throw behind the defense and mobility to escape outside—capabilities Jones currently lacks. While acknowledging the risk of starting AR mid-season, the source contends that Jones needs a reset and AR has been tabbed as QB2, making it time to "call his number for as long as he can answer the bell." The offensive scheme struggles to attack defenses vertically and horizontally, but AR's skill set better matches the required adjustments.

Richardson has fundamental performance issues that predate his Achilles injury; cannot read cover six, struggles with zone coverages in the middle of the field, lacks ability to create outside structure, and gets pocket blind. Teams have figured out the offensive scheme, creating significant concerns about his viability even post-recovery. However, Brandon Angelo positions him as a potential Eagles trade target and preferred QB option over Daniel Jones, emphasizing that Indianapolis rushed him off the field prematurely due to image concerns rather than performance. His early mistakes (big plays and big mistakes in first 2.5 years) are comparable to Brock Purdy's early career trajectory. Richardson's athleticism is noted as 99th percentile, and he is advocated as a better long-term investment than pursuing top-tier 2027 QB prospects if the Eagles cannot secure a top draft pick.

The source identifies Anthony Richardson, the Colts' fourth-overall pick from three years ago, as not the answer at quarterback. Described as highly talented but highly inexperienced, highly inconsistent, and sometimes immature, Richardson represents another failed attempt by Chris Ballard to solve the QB position post-Andrew Luck. The source implies his developmental trajectory and maturity concerns make him unsuitable as a franchise cornerstone.
